Why Adoption is Best:
* Saves Lives: Shelters and rescues are full of cats needing loving homes. Adoption means a cat gets a second chance!
* Health and History: Adoption often includes vetting (vaccinations, spaying/neutering) and sometimes even some history of the cat.
* Reduced Costs: Adoption fees are usually much lower than buying from a breeder.
